Yes, mistakes were made. I did a post about “Daucus Carota” a while back (Queen Anne’s Lace), but had a niggling doubt that I had identified the flower correctly. Something wasn’t quite right about it. My husband got an app recently called “Picture This,” which will identify any plant photos you have, so I consulted with the experts and found out that it was actually yarrow. Mea culpa! Since that revelation, I’ve been on the lookout for true Queen Anne’s Lace so I could get a photo and switch it out, thus erasing my shame.
My husband and I took a short road trip this last weekend and kept passing groupings of QAL in the ditches alongside the road. Eventually, we got off the freeway so I could get my photo. It was such a blistering hot and humid day that my camera lens immediately fogged up when I took it out of the air-conditioned car, so this is what I got:
Falling back on the time-honored tradition of cleaning it with my clothing, I was able to get a couple better shots.
We were on the road for several hours after that and Queen Anne’s Lace kept us company by the roadside the entire time. She is a lovely lass.
Of course, yarrow is perfectly nice as well. And her Latin name, Achillea Millefolium, is much more mellifluous than Daucus Carota, so she can hold her head high.
I have set the record straight and will finally be able to get a good night’s sleep. (Ha ha!)
I’ll probably delete the photo of yarrow in the morning and replace it with Queen Anne’s Lace.

I have a lot of Queen Anne’s Lace growing in my yard, but not any (that I can see anyway)of Yarrow. I think Yarrow lends a nice contrast in a bouquet. Another reason to hold her head high.Queen Anne’s Lace though is one of my favorites!Thank you for sharing!
